The IRS story has a long way to go to educate the Washington press corps about 501(c)(4)s, and the meaning of the word "recuse." The attorney general himself was interviewed by the FBI looking for the terrorist plot leaker, as were many others, and while the RW was screaming for an investigation, the attorney general recused himself and turned it over to the Dep. AG. And apparently the Dep. AG didn't do anything illegal. We may not like the Patriot Act, but it's the law. Thank Republicans and Joe Lieberman for that.
